#7 Lead AI. Or be led.

Show notes

Today, AI optimizes what’s measurable: attention, engagement, short-term goals.

It won’t grow a spine on its own. This episode is a field report from the moment I stopped buying applause with my integrity and a blueprint to design for agency, not dopamine.

What we cover

Why “applause is cheap, integrity isn’t” and how optimization choices become culture.

The missing developmental layer above data → models → policies “Useful” vs human-fitting: truth people can carry

The four workstreams of v1 (what your support builds) v1 and what crowdfunding finances:

Measurement & evaluation protocol for human-fitting truth (beyond clicks) Instrumentation for human evaluation (criteria, trained raters, documented loops) Developmental layer prototype atop existing models & policies Public audit trail (evidence path for every meaningful decision)

Skin in the game Support-Tickets: CHF 5k / 15k / 50k, or one warm intro to a leader who needs this now.
